Have you been sitting day in and out wondering how to make more money? Have you been wondering how to make extra money without clocking in? Or have you ever sat and said how will I make money and invest in business/entrepreneurship when I'm living from paycheck to paycheck?
You are not alone. We have wondered the same things in the past. Gratefully social media has helped us to think outside the box. In our business we learned how much not having enough money affects many things around us: one being our credit reports/scores. Payment history is 35% and Utilization is 30% of your credit scoring according to (forbes.com/advisor/credit-score.)
If you don't have enough money to pay bills on time your score plummets. As a result your left with less than perfect credit which causes you to pay more in general. This could include: high car payment interest, high utility bill deposits, high apartment rental deposits, car insurance, high credit card interest and so much more.
Take a look at these creative alternatives to making money.

Bonus Tips:
****Tithe & Offerings/ Give To The Needy. This tip is our personal favorite. When recently reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert K. In this book he talks about how his rich dad would prioritize giving back 10% of his income to church and charities. His rich dad truly believed to be truly rich we need to be able to give as well as to receive.
In our opinion you could also offer your time as well. Try and find a local place to volunteer at; sometimes your wealth steams from a deposit that involves your presence.
***Budget. Budgeting ensures you have left over money to invest in your future. The time to start is now you can handwrite your budget or use an app like MINT to help you organize and set limits.
